The scene: only 5 months after the breakup of JNR, a late morning scene at Mooka Station. Other than the JR logos on the sides of the diesel railcars, everything is still very much JNR in appearance and operation, including semaphore signals, manually operated switches, and rolling stock in shu iro no. 5 color. We see 6-car train 827D arrive, the first four cars, consisting of kiha 20 and kiha 45's, uncoupled and moved to shed, and later the two car kiha 58(?) and kiha 45 departs for Motegi. Various movements in the depot area. Less than a year later, control of this line will pass from JR East to Mooka Rlwy. track layout at Mooka Station: http://senrohaisenzu.cocolog-nifty.com/photos/uncategorized/2012/12/31/r.jpg string diagram for this line, AM hours: http://senrohaisenzu.cocolog-nifty.com/photos/uncategorized/2012/12/29/5r.jpg
